Type 244 cylinder body is a surface mounted lock body for doors or drawers, providing the core locking function where a CompX Timberline Lock is specified. The 3/4 inch long cylinder design sets the body depth, which helps installers match this lock body to typical cabinet door and drawer front thicknesses in many woodworking projects. The product functions as the cylinder body only, so it becomes the central part that receives the mating lock plug specified for CompX Timberline systems. Because it is part of the deadbolt locks category, it is suited for applications where a positive locked or unlocked state is needed at the door or drawer. Using a defined Type 244 cylinder body with part number CB-244 lets shops repeat the same layout across multiple cabinet runs and maintain consistent keying systems around the CompX Timberline Lock family.
This cylinder body is identified as a vertical mount configuration, meaning it is intended to be oriented upright on the cabinet door or drawer front so the key rotation aligns with the design of the CompX Timberline Lock system. The 16.5 mm diameter bore hole specification defines the single critical drilling step, letting installers plan a straight-through bore that positions the cylinder correctly in the panel. Since all locks in this series have a 3/4 inch long cylinder, the installer works with a consistent projection through the bore, which assists with planning material build-up, applied fronts, or decorative panels around the lock area. Using the CB-244 designation ties the vertical mount and bore dimensions to a repeatable shop standard for cabinet production or field retrofit work.
This cylinder body serves surface mounted lock applications on cabinet doors and drawers where a CompX Timberline Lock layout is required. Its classification under deadbolt locks places it in projects that need a defined locked position, such as storage cabinets or furniture with controlled access. The surface mounted design supports doors or drawers where there is access to mount the lock on the interior face while presenting the cylinder at the front through the 16.5 mm bore. Because it is specified as a vertical mount, it suits installations where the key is expected to operate in an upright orientation, providing consistent appearance across a bank of doors or drawers. Using a standardized CB-244 Type 244 cylinder body allows shops to coordinate their Timberline lock layouts with known geometry, so the same bore size and orientation can be repeated from cabinet to cabinet.
The 3/4 inch long cylinder dimension fixes how far the cylinder extends through the 16.5 mm bore, which simplifies door and drawer design because that depth does not change from one lock body to another in this product line. That consistent cylinder length helps maintain clearance for interior shelves or slide hardware that may be near the lock area. The tough nylon housing is the structural body of the lock, supporting the cylinder where it passes through the panel while standing up to normal cabinet, furniture, or woodworking shop environments. Key rotation of 180 degrees with key removable in both locked and unlocked positions establishes a straightforward operating pattern, which can reduce confusion for end users who interact with the cabinet daily. As part of the CompX Timberline Lock family under part number CB-244, these details work together so installers and fabricators can rely on repeatable fit, orientation, and operation in their Timberline-based locking layouts.
The Type 244 cylinder body works in surface mounted lock setups on doors or drawers within the CompX Timberline Lock system, where a deadbolt-style locked or unlocked position is needed.
The 3/4 inch long cylinder sets a consistent depth through the panel, helping designers plan door and drawer thickness and nearby components around one fixed cylinder projection.
The 16.5 mm diameter bore hole tells installers exactly what drill size or machining operation to use so the cylinder body seats correctly in the door or drawer front.
The vertical mount orientation positions the cylinder so key rotation and appearance align with the CompX Timberline Lock design, keeping all locks in a cabinet run visually consistent.
The tough nylon housing forms the main lock body structure, supporting the internal cylinder while handling typical cabinet and furniture use in woodworking environments.
The 180 degree key rotation with key removable in locked and unlocked positions offers clear end stops and lets users remove the key after choosing either locked or unlocked state.
The Type 244 cylinder body with part number CB-244 gives installers a vertical mount, surface mounted lock body that matches CompX Timberline Lock projects. Its 3/4 inch cylinder length, 16.5 mm bore requirement, 180 degree key rotation, and tough nylon housing support repeatable cabinet and drawer locking layouts. For jobs planned around CompX Timberline Lock hardware, this cylinder body provides the defined geometry and operation needed to tie multiple doors or drawers into a consistent locking system.
